They Don’t Drill What’s Interesting | Gary Thompson - Brixton Metals Corp.
The Deep Dive Aug 26, 2026
Summary
Brixton drills targets only after a clear geochemical signature, geophysical signature, and supporting geology line up — readiness, not novelty, decides where the rig goes.
Management calls 2026 a conversion year, aiming to turn five years of Trapper drilling into a formal resource estimate.
Near-surface gold-silver-copper veins at Camp Creek remain open and are being drilled toward resource conversion.
The Camp Creek porphyry has been tested with 18 deep holes across roughly a 1 km by 1 km area.
Gary Thompson's takeaways
- Top takeaway Thompson argues 2026 should be read as a conversion year — five years of Trapper drilling are now being pushed into a maiden resource
- He advocates a disciplined 'drill what's ready' philosophy: a target must have a geochemical signature, a geophysical signature, and supportive geology before a rig arrives
- He highlights continued upside at Camp Creek, noting the high-grade gold-silver-copper high sulfidation veins drilled in 2025–2026 remain open at surface
- He points to 18 deep holes across roughly a 1 km × 1 km area at the Camp Creek porphyry as evidence the system is large
- His thesis is that converting Trapper to a resource while still extending Camp Creek will validate the project's overall scale
